3-((Piperazin-1-3TDmethyl)-Phenyl Amide Derivatives and Their Use as Retinoid-
Related
Orphan Receptor Gamma (RORy) Modulators
The present invention relates to novel retinoid-related orphan receptor gamma
(RORy)
modulators and their use in the treatment of diseases mediated by RORy.
Background of the Invention
Retinoid-related orphan receptors (RORs) are transcription factors which
belong to the
steroid hormone nuclear receptor superfamily (Jetten & Joo (2006) Adv. Dev.
Biol. 16:313-355).
The ROR family consists of three members, ROR alpha (RORa), ROR beta (ROM and
ROR
gamma (RORy), each encoded by a separate gene (RORA, RORB and RORC,
respectively). RORs
contain four principal domains shared by the majority of nuclear receptors: an
N-terminal A/B
domain, a DNA-binding domain, a hinge domain, and a ligand binding domain.
Each ROR gene
generates several isoforms which differ only in their N-terminal A/B domain.
Two isoforms of
RORy have been identified: RORyl and RORyt (also known as RORy2). RORy is a
term used to
describe both RORyl and/or RORyt.
While RORyl is expressed in a variety of tissues including thymus, muscle,
kidney and
liver, RORyt is exclusively expressed in the cells of the immune system. RORyt
has been identified
as a key regulator of Th17 cell differentiation. Th17 cells are a subset of T
helper cells which
produce IL-17 and other proinflammatory cytokines. Th17 cells have been shown
to have key
functions in several mouse autoimmune disease models including experimental
autoimmune
encephalomyelitis (EAE) and collagen-induced arthritis (CIA). In addition,
Th17 cells or their
products have been shown to be associated with the pathology of a variety of
human inflammatory
and autoimmune disorders including multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis,
psoriasis, ankylosing
spondylitis, Crohn's disease and asthma (Jetten (2009) NucLRecept.SignaL 7:
e003; Manel et al.
(2008) Nat. ImmunoL 9:641-649; Miossec & Kolls (2012) Nat
Rev.Drug.Discov.10:763-776). The
pathogenesis of chronic autoimmune diseases including multiple sclerosis and
rheumatoid arthritis
arises from the break in tolerance towards self-antigens and the development
of auto-aggressive
effector T cells infiltrating the target tissues. Studies have shown that Th17
cells are one of the
important drivers of the inflammatory process in tissue-specific autoimmunity
(Steinman (2008) J.
Exp. Med. 205:1517-1522; Leung et al. (2010) Cell. MoL Immunot 7:182-189).
There is evidence
that Th17 cells are activated during the disease process and are responsible
for recruiting other
inflammatory cells types, especially neutrophils, to mediate pathology in the
target tissues (Korn et
al. (2009) Annu. Rev. ImmunoL 27:485-517).
RORyt plays a critical role in the pathogenic responses of Th17 cells (Ivanov
et al. (2006)
Cell 126:1121-1133). RORyt deficient mice show very little Th17 cells. In
addition, RORyt
deficiency resulted in amelioration of EAE. Further support for the role of
RORyt in the
pathogensis of autoimmune or inflammatory diseases can be found in the
following references:

In light of the role RORy plays in the pathogenesis of diseases, it is
desirable to prepare
compounds that modulate RORy activity, which can be used in the treatment of
diseases mediated
by RORy.

Terms and Definitions
"Alkyl" refers to a monovalent saturated hydrocarbon chain having the
specified number
of member atoms. For example, C1-C6 alkyl refers to an alkyl group having from
1 to 6 member
atoms. Alkyl groups may be optionally substituted with one or more substituent
as defined herein.
The alkyl groups as used herein, may be straight or branched. Representative
branched alkyl
groups have one, two, or three branches. Examples of alkyl include methyl,
ethyl, propyl (n-propyl
and isopropyl), butyl (n-butyl, isobutyl, and t-butyl), pentyl (n-pentyl,
isopentyl, and neopentyl),
and hexyl.
"Cycloalkyl" refers to a saturated hydrocarbon ring having the specified
number of
member atoms. Cycloalkyl groups are monocyclic ring systems or are fused or
bridged bicyclic
ring systems. For example, C3-C7 cycloalkyl refers to a cycloalkyl group
having from 3 to 7
member atoms. Cycloalkyl groups may be optionally substituted with one or more
substituent as
defined herein. Examples of cycloalkyl include cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl,
cyclopentyl, and
cyclohexyl.
"Enantiomeric excess" or "ee" is the excess of one enantiomer over the other
expressed
as a percentage. As a result, since both enantiomers are present in equal
amounts in a racemic
33
CA 02950211 2016-11-24
WO 2015/180612
PCT/CN2015/079753
mixture, the enantiomeric excess is zero (0% ee). However, if one enantiomer
was enriched such
that it constitutes 95% of the product, then the enantiomeric excess would be
90% ee (the amount
of the enriched enantiomer, 95%, minus the amount of the other enantiomer,
5%).
"Enantiomerically pure" refers to products whose enantiomeric excess is 99% ee
or
greater.
"Half-life" refers to the time required for half of a quantity of a substance
to be converted
to another chemically distinct species in vitro or in vivo.
"Halo" refers to the halogen radicals fluoro, chloro, bromo, and iodo.
"Heteroaryl" refers to an aromatic ring containing from 1 to 4 heteroatoms as
member
atoms in the ring. Heteroaryl rings containing more than one heteroatom may
contain different
heteroatoms. Heteroaryl rings may be optionally substituted with one or more
substituent as
defined herein. Heteroaryl rings are monocyclic ring systems, or are fused or
bridged bicyclic
ring systems. Monocyclic heteroaryl rings have from 5 to 7 member atoms.
Bicyclic heteroaryl
rings have from 7 to 11 member atoms. Bicyclic heteroaryl rings include those
rings wherein
phenyl and a monocyclic heterocycloalkyl ring are attached forming a fused,
spiro, or bridged
bicyclic ring system, and those rings wherein a monocyclic heteroaryl ring and
a monocyclic
cycloalkyl, cycloalkenyl, heterocycloalkyl, or heteroaryl ring are attached
forming a fused, spiro, or
bridged bicyclic ring system. Suitable xamples of heteroaryl include but are
not limited to
pyrrolyl, pyrazolyl, irnidazolyl, oxazolyl, isoxazolyl, oxadiazolyl,

Suitable examples of 5 membered heteroaryls include but are not limited to
pyrrolyl,
pyrazolyl, imidazolyl, oxazolyl, isoxazolyl, oxadiazolyl, thiazolyl,
isothiazolyl, thiadiazolyl,
furanyl, furazanyl, thienyl, triazolyl, and tetrazolyl.
"Heteroatom" refers to a nitrogen, sulphur, or oxygen atom, also abbreviated
herein as N,
S or 0 respectively.
"Heterocycloalkyl" refers to a saturated ring containing from 1 to 4
heteroatoms as
member atoms in the ring, unless otherwise indicated. Heterocycloalkyl rings
are not aromatic.
Heterocycloalkyl groups containing more than one heteroatom may contain
different heteroatoms.
Heterocycloalkyl groups may be optionally substituted with one or more
substituents as defined
herein. Heterocycloalkyl groups are monocyclic ring systems or are fused,
spiro, or bridged
bicyclic ring systems. Monocyclic heterocycloalkyl rings have from 4 to 7
member atoms.
Bicyclic heterocycloalkyl rings have from 7 to 11 member atoms. Examples of
heterocycloalkyl
include pyrrolidinyl, tetrahydrofuranyl, dihydrofuranyl, pyranyl,
tetrahydropyranyl, dihydropyranyl,
34
CA 02950211 2016-11-24
WO 2015/180612

1,3-dithianyl, azetidinyl, oxetanyl, azabicylo[3.2.1]octyl, and
oxabicylo[2.2.1]heptyl.
"Member atoms" refers to the atom or atoms that form a chain or ring. Where
more
than one member atom is present in a chain and within a ring, each member atom
is covalently
bound to an adjacent member atom in the chain or ring. Atoms that make up a
substituent group
on a chain or ring are not member atoms in the chain or ring.
"Optionally substituted" indicates that a group, such as alkyl, alkenyl,
alkynyl, aryl,
cycloalkyl, cycloalkenyl, heterocycloalkyl, or heteroaryl, may be
unsubstituted, or the group may
be substituted with one or more substituent as defined.
"RORy" refers to all isoforms encoded by the RORC gene which include RORyl and
RORyt.
"RORy modulator" refers to a chemical compound that inhibits, either directly
or
indirectly, the activity of RORy. RORy modulators include antagonists and
inverse agonists of
RORy.
"Pharmaceutically acceptable" refers to those compounds, materials,
compositions, and
dosage forms which are, within the scope of sound medical judgment, suitable
for use in contact
with the tissues of human beings and animals without excessive toxicity,
irritation, or other
problem or complication, commensurate with a reasonable benefit/risk ratio.
"Substituted" in reference to a group indicates that one or more hydrogen atom
attached
to a member atom within the group is replaced with a substituent selected from
the group of
defined substituents. It should be understood that the term "substituted"
includes the implicit
provision that such substitution be in accordance with the permitted valence
of the substituted atom
and the substituent and that the substitution results in a stable compound
(i.e. one that does not
spontaneously undergo transformation such as by rearrangement, cyclization, or
elimination and
that is sufficiently robust to survive isolation from a reaction mixture).
When it is stated that a
group may contain one or more substituent, one or more (as appropriate) member
atom within the
group may be substituted. In addition, a single member atom within the group
may be substituted
with more than one substituent as long as such substitution is in accordance
with the permitted
valence of the atom.
The compounds according to Formula I may contain one or more asymmetric center
(also
referred to as a chiral center) and may, therefore, exist as individual
enantiomers, diastereomers, or
other stereoisomeric forms, or as mixtures thereof. Chiral centers, such as
chiral carbon atoms,
may also be present in a substituent such as an alkyl group. Where the
stereochemistry of a chiral
center present in Formula I, or in any chemical structure illustrated herein,
is not specified the
structure is intended to encompass all individual stereoisomers and all
mixtures thereof. Thus,
CA 02950211 2016-11-24
WO 2015/180612
PCT/CN2015/079753
compounds according to Formula I containing one or more chiral center may be
used as racemic
mixtures, enantiomerically enriched mixtures, or as enantiomerically pure
individual stereoisomers.
Individual stereoisomers of a compound according to Formula I which contain
one or more
asymmetric center may be resolved by methods known to those skilled in the
art. For example,
such resolution may be carried out (1) by formation of diastereoisomeric
salts, complexes or other
derivatives; (2) by selective reaction with a stereoisomer-specific reagent,
for example by
enzamatic oxidation or reduction; or (3) by gas-liquid or liquid
chromatography in a chiral
enviomment, for example, on a chiral support such as silica with a bound
chiral ligand or in the
presence of a chiral solvent. The skilled artisan will appreciate that where
the desired
stereoisomer is converted into another chemical entity by one of the
separation procedures
described above, a further step is required to liberate the desired form.
Alternatively, specific
stereoisomers may be synthesized by asymmetric synthesis using optically
active reagents,
substrates, catalysts or solvents, or by converting one enantiomer to the
other by asymmetric
transformation.
The compounds according to Formula I may also contain double bonds or other
centers of
geometric asymmetry. Where the stereochemistry of a center of geometric
asymmetry present in
Formula I, or in any chemical structure illustrated herein, is not specified,
the structure is intended
to encompass the trans (E) geometric isomer, the cis (Z) geometric isomer, and
all mixtures thereof.
Likewise, all tautomeric forms are also included in Formula I whether such
tautomers exist in
equilibrium or predominately in one form.
In certain embodiments, compounds according to Formula I may be present as a
free base
or free acid.
In certain embodiments, compounds according to Formula I may contain an acidic
functional group. In certain other embodiments, compounds according to Formula
I may contain a
basic functional group. Thus, the skilled artisan will appreciate that
pharmaceutically-acceptable
salts of the compounds according to Formula I or II may be prepared. Indeed,
in certain
embodiments of the invention, pharmaceutically-acceptable salts of the
compounds according to
Formula I or II may be preferred over the respective free base or free acid
because such salts may
impart greater stability or solubility to the molecule thereby facilitating
formulation into a dosage
form. Accordingly, the invention is further directed to the use of
pharmaceutically-acceptable
salts of the compounds according to Formula I or II.
As used herein, the term "pharmaceutically acceptable salts" refers to salts
that retain the
desired biological activity of the subject compound and exhibit minimal
undesired toxicological
effects. These pharmaceutically-acceptable salts may be prepared in situ
during the final isolation
and purification of the compound, or by separately reacting the purified
compound in its free acid
or free base form with a suitable base or acid, respectively. Suitable
pharmaceutically acceptable
salts include those described by Berge, Bighley, and Monkhouse, J. Pharm. Sci.
(1977) 66, pp 1-19.

PCT/CN2015/079753
Salts of the disclosed compounds containing a basic amine or other basic
functional group
may be prepared by any suitable method known in the art, including treatment
of the free base with
an inorganic acid, such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid,
nitric acid,
phosphoric acid, and the like, or with an organic acid, such as acetic acid,
trifluoroacetic acid,
maleic acid, succinic acid, mandelic acid, fumaric acid, malonic acid, pyruvic
acid, oxalic acid,
glycolic acid, salicylic acid, pyranosidyl acid, such as glucuronic acid or
galacturonic acid, alpha-

glycolates, tartrates
mandelates, and sulfonates, such as xylenesulfonates, methanesulfonates,
propanesulfonates,
naphthalene-l-sulfonates and naphthalene-2-sulfonates.
Salts of the disclosed compounds containing an acidic functional group can be
prepared by
reacting with a suitable base. Such a pharmaceutically acceptable salt may be
made with a base
which affords a pharmaceutically acceptable cation, which includes alkali
metal salts (especially
sodium and potassium), alkaline earth metal salts (especially calcium and
magnesium), aluminum
salts and ammonium salts, as well as salts made from physiologically
acceptable organic bases such
as trimethylamine, triethylamine, morpholine, pyridine, piperidine, picoline,
dicyclohexylamine,
NX-dibenzylethylenediamine, 2-hydroxyethylamine, bis-(2-hydroxyethyl)amine,
tri-(2-
.. hydroxyethyl)amine, procaine, dibenzylpiperidine, dehydroabietylamine, N,N'
-
bisdehydroabietylamine, glucamine, N-methylglucamine, collidine, choline,
quinine, quinoline, and
basic amino acid such as lysine and arginine.
Other salts, which are not pharmaceutically acceptable, may be useful in the
preparation of
compounds of this invention and these should be considered to form a further
aspect of the
invention. These salts, such as trifluoroacetate, while not in themselves
pharmaceutically
acceptable, may be useful in the preparation of salts useful as intermediates
in obtaining the
compounds of the invention and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts.
If a compound of the invention containing a basic amine or other basic
functional group is
isolated as a salt, the corresponding free base form of that compound may be
prepared by any
.. suitable method known to the art, including treatment of the salt with an
inorganic or organic base,
suitably an inorganic or organic base having a higher pKa than the free base
form of the compound.
Similarly, if a compound of the invention containing an acidic functional
group is isolated as a salt,
37
CA 02950211 2016-11-24
WO 2015/180612
PCT/CN2015/079753
the corresponding free acid form of that compound may be prepared by any
suitable method known
to the art, including treatment of the salt with an inorganic or organic acid,
suitably an inorganic or
organic acid having a lower pKa than the free acid form of the compound.
As used herein, the term "compounds of the invention" means both the compounds
according to Formula I and II (as a free base or free acid), and the
pharmaceutically-acceptable
salts thereof. The term "a compound of the invention" also appears herein and
refers to both a
compound according to Formula I or II (as a free base or free acid), and its
pharmaceutically-
acceptable salts.
The invention also includes various deuterated forms of the compounds of
Formula I.
Each available hydrogen atom attached to a carbon atom may be independently
replaced with a
deuterium atom. A person of ordinary skill in the art will know how to
synthesize deuterated forms
of the compounds of Formula I. Commercially available deuterated starting
materials may be
employed in the preparation of deuterated forms of the compounds of Formula I,
or they may be
synthesized using conventional techniques employing deuterated reagents (e.g.
lithium aluminum
deuteride).
The compounds of the invention may exist in solid or liquid form. In the solid
state, the
compounds of the invention may exist in crystalline or noncrystalline form, or
as a mixture thereof.
For compounds of the invention that are in crystalline form, the skilled
artisan will appreciate that
pharmaceutically-acceptable solvates may be formed wherein solvent molecules
are incorporated
into the crystalline lattice during crystallization. Solvates may involve
nonaqueous solvents such as
ethanol, isopropanol, DMSO, acetic acid, ethanolamine, and ethyl acetate, or
they may involve
water as the solvent that is incorporated into the crystalline lattice.
Solvates wherein water is the
solvent that is incorporated into the crystalline lattice are typically
referred to as "hydrates."
Hydrates include stoichiometric hydrates as well as compositions containing
vaiable amounts of
water. The invention includes all such solvates.
The skilled artisan will further appreciate that certain compounds of the
invention that
exist in crystalline form, including the various solvates thereof, may exhibit
polymorphism (i.e. the
capacity to occur in different crystalline structures). These different
crystalline forms are typically
known as "polymorphs." The invention includes all such polymorphs. Polymorphs
have the
same chemical composition but differ in packing, geometrical arangement, and
other descriptive
properties of the crystalline solid state. Polymorphs, therefore, may have
different physical
properties such as shape, density, hardness, deformability, stability, and
dissolution properties.
Polymorphs typically exhibit different melting points, IR. spectra, and X-ray
powder diffraction
patterns, which may be used for identification. The skilled artisan will
appreciate that different
polymorphs may be produced, for example, by changing or adjusting the reaction
conditions or
reagents, used in making the compound. For example, changes in temperature,
pressure, or solvent

may result in polymorphs. In addition, one polymorph may spontaneously convert
to another
polymorph under certain conditions.

Compound Preparation
The compounds according to Formula I may be prepared using conventional
organic
syntheses. Suitable synthetic routes are depicted below in the following
general reaction scheme.
The skilled artisan will appreciate that if a substituent described herein is
not compatible
with the synthetic methods described herein, the substituent may be protected
with a suitable
protecting group that is stable to the reaction conditions. The protecting
group may be removed at
a suitable point in the reaction sequence to provide a desired intermediate or
target compound.
Suitable protecting groups and the methods for protecting and de-protecting
different substituents
using such suitable protecting groups are well known to those skilled in the
art; examples of which
may be found in T. Greene and P. Wuts, Protecting Groups in Chemical Synthesis
(3rd ed.), John
Wiley & Sons, NY (1999). In some instances, a substituent may be specifically
selected to be
reactive under the reaction conditions used. Under these circumstances, the
reaction conditions
convert the selected substituent into another substituent that is either
useful as an intermediate
.. compound or is a desired substituent in a target compound.

Biological Data
As stated above, the compounds according to Formula I are RORy modulators, and
are useful in
the treatment of diseases mediated by RORy. The biological activities of the
compounds according to
Formula I can be determined using any suitable assay for determining the
activity of a candidate
compound as a RORy modulator, as well as tissue and in vivo models.
Fluorescence Energy Transfer (FRET) Assay
The assays were performed in an assay buffer consisting of 50 mM NaF, 50 mM 3-
(N-
morpholino)propanesulfonic acid, pH 7.5, 50 uM 34(3-
cholamidopropyl)dimethylammoniol-
propanesulfonate, 0.1 mg/mL bovine serum albumin, and 10 mM dithiothreitol in
384-well plates
(Greiner 784076, Longwood, FL). The total volume was 10 uL/well. The europium-

solution was prepared by adding an appropriate amount of biotinylated SRC and
europium labeled
streptavidin (PerkinElmer Life and Analytical Sciences, Waltham, MA) into
assay buffer, with
final concentrations of 27 and 3.3 riM, respectively. The allophycocyanin

concentration of 33 nM each. After 15 min of incubation at room temperature, a
20-fold excess of
biotin was added to block theremaining free streptavidin. Equal volumes of
europium-labeled SRC-
and APC-labeled RORy-LBD were then mixed with 0.2 M surrogate agonist N-(2-
chloro-6-
fluorobenzy1)-N42'-methoxy-[1,1'-biphenyl]-4-y1)methyl)benzenesulfonamide
(Zhang, W., et al.,
Mol. Pharmacol. 2012, 82, 583-590) and dispensed into 384-well assay plates at
10 uL
volume/well. The 384-well assay plates had 100 nL of test compound in DMSO
predispensed into
each well. The plates were incubated for 1 h at room temperature and then read
on ViewLux
(PerkinElmer Life and Analytical Sciences) in LANCE mode configured for
europeum-APC labels.
Data were collected and analyzed by Activitybase.
Dual Fluorescence Eneru Transfer (FRET) Assay
This assay is based on the knowledge that nuclear receptors interact with
cofactors
(transcription factors) in a ligand dependent manner. RORy is a typical
nuclear receptor in that it
has an AF2 domain in the ligand binding domain (LBD) which interacts with co-
activators. The
sites of interaction have been mapped to the LXXLL motifs in the co-activator
SRC1(2) sequences.
Short peptide sequences containing the LXXLL motif mimic the behavior of full-
length co-
activator.
The assay measures ligand-mediated interaction of the co-activator peptide
with the purified
bacterial-expressed RORy ligand binding domain (RORy-LBD) to indirectly assess
ligand binding.
RORy has a basal level of interaction with the co-activator SRC1(2) in the
absence of ligand, thus it
is possible to find ligands that inhibit or enhance the RORy/SRC1(2)
interaction.
Materials
Generation of RORy-LBD bacterial expression plasmid
Human RORy Ligand Binding Domain (RORy-LBD) was expressed in E.coli strain
BL21(DE3)
as an amino-terminal polyhistidine tagged fusion protein. DNA encoding this
recombinant protein
was sub-cloned into a modified pET2la expression vector (Novagen). A modified
polyhistidine tag
(MKKHHHHEIILVPRGS) was fused in frame to residues 263-518 of the human RORy
sequence.
Protein Purification
Approximately 50 g E.coli cell pellet was resuspended in 300 mL of lysis
buffer (30 mM
imidazole pH 7.0 and 150 mM NaCl). Cells were lysed by sonication and cell
debris was removed
by centrifugation for 30 minutes at 20,000g at 4 C. The cleared supernatant
was filtered through a
0.45 uM cellulose acetate membrane filter. The clarified lysate was loaded
onto a column (XK-26)
packed with ProBond Nickel Chelating resin (Invitrogen), pre-equilibrated with
30 mM imidazole
pH 7.0 and 150 mM NaCl. After washing to baseline absorbance with the
equilibration buffer, the
column was developed with a gradient from 30 to 500 mM imidazole pH 7Ø
Column fractions
containing the RORy-LBD protein were pooled and concentrated to a volume of 5
mls. The
concentrated protein was loaded onto a Superdex 200 column pre-equilibrated
with 20 mM Tris-Cl
180

PCT/CN2015/079753
pH 7.2 and 200 mM NaCl. The fractions containing the desired RORy-LBD protein
were pooled
together.
Protein Biotinylation
Purified RORy-LBD was buffer exchanged by exhaustive dialysis [3 changes of at
least 20
volumes (>8000x)] against PBS [100mM NaPhosphate, pH 8 and 150mM NaCl]. The
concentration of RORy-LBD was approximately 30uM in PBS. Five-fold molar
excess of NHS-
LC-Biotin (Pierce) was added in a minimal volume of PBS. This solution was
incubated with
occasional gentle mixing for 60 minutes at ambient RT. The modified RORy-LBD
was dialyzed
against 2 buffer changes - TBS pH 8.0 containing 5mM DTI', 2mM EDTA and 2%
sucrose - each
at least 20 times of the volume. The modified protein was distributed into
aliquots, frozen on dry
ice and stored at -80 C. The biotinylated RORy-LBD was subjected to mass
spectrometric analysis
to reveal the extent of modification by the biotinylation reagent. In general,
approximately 95% of
the protein had at least a single site of biotinylation and the overall extent
of biotinylation followed
a normal distribution of multiple sites ranged from one to five. A
biotinylated peptide
corresponding to amino acid 676 to 700 (CPSSHSSLTERHKILHRLLQEGSPS) of the co-
activator
steroid receptor coactivator SRC1(2) was generated using similar method.
Assay
Preparation of Europium labeled SRC I (2) peptide: biotinylated SRC1(2)
solution was prepared
by adding an appropriate amount of biotinylated SRC1(2) from the 100uM stock
solution to a
buffer containing 10 mM of freshly added DTT from solid to give a final
concentration of 40 nM.
An appropriate amount of Europium labeled Streptavidin was then added to the
biotinylated
SRC1(2) solution in a tube to give a final concentration of 10 nM. The tube
was inverted gently and
incubated for 15 minutes at room temperature. Twenty-fold excess biotin from
the 10 mM stock
solution was added and the tube was inverted gently and incubated for 10
minutes at room
temperature.
Preparation of APC labeled RORy-LBD: biotinylated RORy-LBD solution was
prepared by
adding an appropriate amount of biotinylated RORy-LBD from the stock solution
to a buffer
containing 10 mM of freshly added DTT from solid to give a final concentration
of 40 nM. An
appropriate amount of APC labeled Streptavidin was then added to the
biotinylated RORy-LBD
solution in a tube to give a final concentration of 20 nM. The tube was
inverted gently and
incubated for 15 minutes at room temperature. Twenty-fold excess biotin from
the 10 mM stock
solution was then added and the tube was inverted gently and incubated for 10
minutes at room
temperature.
Equal volumes of the above-described Europium labeled SRC1(2) peptide and the
APC labeled
RORy-LBD were gently mixed together to give 20nM RORy-LBD, lOnM APC-
Strepavidin, 20nM
SRC1(2) and 5nM Europium-Streptavidin. The reaction mixtures were incubated
for 5 minutes.

Jurkat Cell Luciferase Assay
RORy is known to bind to a CNS (conserved non-coding sequences) enhancer
element in the
IL17 promoter. In this assay, RORy activity is indirectly assessed using a
luciferase reporter
construct which contains the human 11,17 promoter having the RORy-specific CNS
enhancer
element. Inhibition of RORy activity by a compound will result in a decrease
in luciferase activity
of Jurkat cells transfected with the reporter construct.
Materials
Jurkat cell line
For the luciferase reporter plasmid, the 3 Kb human IL17 promoter containing
the RORy-
specific CNS enhancer element was PCR amplified from human genomic DNA and
cloned into a
pGL4-Luc2/hygro reporter plasmid sequencially as XhoI-HindIll (1.1 Kb) and
Kpnl-XhoI (1.9 Kb)
fragments. For the 1.1 Kb fragment, PCR was used to amplify human 1L17
proximal promoter
region from genomic DNA of 293T cells using primers as follows: forward
primer, 5'-
CTCGAGTAGAGCAGGACAGGGAGGAA-3' (XhoI site is underlined) and reverse primer, 5'-
AAGCTTGGATGGATGAGrri __________________________________________________ GTGCCT-
3' (HindlII site is underlined). The 1.1 kb DNA bands
were excised, purified, and inserted into pMD19-T Simple Vector (Takara).
After DNA sequencing
confirmation, the 1.1 kb DNA was digested with XhoI and Hindlil and inserted
into Xhol/HindIll
sites of pGL4.31[1uc2P/GAL4UAS/Hygro] (Promega) to generate the pIL17-1kb-lue
reporter
construct. For the 1.9 Kb fragment, PCR was used to amplify human IL17
promoter region from
genomic DNA using primers as follows: forward primer, 5'-
GGTACCTGCCCTGCTCTATCCTGAGT-3' (Kpnl site is underlined) and reverse primer, 5'-
CTCGAGTGGTGAGTGCTGAGAGATGG-3' (Xhol site is underlined). The resulting 1.9 kb
DNA
bands were excised, gel purified, and cloned into a pMD19-T Simple Vector
(Takara). DNA
sequencing analysis revealed that there were three point mutations but none of
which affected
RORy binding. The 1.9 kb DNA fragment was released by double digestion with
Kpnl and XhoI
and inserted into plL17-1kb-luc to generate the luciferase reporter plasmid
"p1L17-3kb-CNS-luc."
To overexpress RORyt, the full-length cDNA of human RORyt identical to the
published sequence
NM 001001523 was cloned into pcDNA3.1 at the Kpnl-NotI cloning sites to
generate the RORyt
overexpression plasmid "CDNA3.1DhRORy49-8".
The luciferase reporter plasmid and the RORyt overexpression plasmid were
transfected into
Jurkat cell line and a stable clone was identified. The stable clone was grown
in 10% dialyzed FBS
in RPMI (1640) with 800ug/m1 geneticin and 400ug/m1 hygromecin.
Assay
Compounds were dissolved in DMSO at three concentrations, 10mM, 400uM and
16uM, and
were dispensed into 384-wells assay plate at 40n1, 12.5n1, 5n1 respectively.
The volume was

adjusted with pure DMSO to a give a final uniform volume of 40 nl Jurkat cells
described above
were counted and centrifuged. The growth medium was discarded and the cells
were resuspended
with assay medium (phenol red free RPMI) at 1E-6/ml. Cells were added to each
of the compounds
in the assay plates. Cells were either untreated or treated with CD3
microbeads (Miltenyi Biotec) at
1 ul beads per 500,000 cells. Cells were culture overnight and luciferase
assay (Promega) was
performed. Data were collected by ViewLux (using luciferase greiner 384
setting).
Th17 Cell Differentiation Assay
ELISA
Mouse CD4+ cells were purified using the CD4+ T Cell Isolation II Kit
according to
manufacturer's instructions (Miltenyi Biotec). 96 well plates were pre-coated
with anti-mCD3
antibody. Un-coated wells were used as controls. CD4+ Cells were resuspended
in RPMI 1640
complete medium and were added to the 96-well plates. Cytokine cocktail and
the compound were
then added to the wells. Antibodies and cytokines (all from R&D Systems) used
in the assay were
selected from the following: anti-mCD3; anti-mCD28; anti-mIFNy; anti-mIL4; mIL-
6; mIL-23;
mIL-113; hTGF-131. The culture was incubated at 37 C for 3 days and
supernatants were collected
for ELISA. The IL-17 ELISAs were performed according to manufacturer's
instructions (R&D
Systems). The results were analyzed using Prism software with non-linear
regression to determine
pIC50.
Intracellular staining
The Th17 differentiation culture described above was maintained for 5 days and
cells were
analyzed by IL-17 and IFN-y intracellular staining according to manufacturer's
instructions (BD

EAE Studies
Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis (EAE) is an animal model of multiple
sclerosis.
The ability of a test compound to ameliorate EAE can be measured in the EAE
studies. Wild-type
mice of the C57BL/6 (B6) strain are maintained under pathogen-free conditions.
EAE is induced by
intravenous injections of 100 ng of pertussis toxin (List Biological
Laboratories) and subcutaneous
immunization with an emulsion composed of M0G35_55 peptide (300 jig/mouse) in
PBS and an
equal volume of complete Freund's adjuvant containing 5 mg/ml heat-killed
Mycobacterium
tuberculosis H37Ra (Difco Laboratories) on day 0, followed by another
intravenous injections of
100 ng of pertussis toxin on day 2 as described previously (Wang et al.
(2006)J. Clin. Invest. 116:
2434-2441). For treatment of EAE, each compound or vehicle PBS is given orally
from day 0 at
various doses selected from 3, 10, 30 and 100 mg/kg twice a day. Mice are
scored for disease
severity daily using a EAE scoring system (Wang et al. (2006) J. Clin. Invest.
116: 2434-2441): 0,
no overt signs of disease; 1, limp tail or hind limb weakness but not both; 2,
limptail and
paraparesis (weakness, incomplete paralysis of one or two hind limbs); 3,
paraplegia (complete
paralysis of two hind limbs); 4, paraplegia with forelimb weakness or
paralysis; and 5, moribund
state or death. Clinical score data can be expressed as means S.E.M.
Human peripheral blood CD4+ T cell cultures and cytokine analysis
Human biological samples were cryopreserved human CD4+ T cells purchased
from AllCells, LLC and Stemcell Technologies, Inc. The CD4+ T cells were
differentiated
to the Th17 subtype by culturing for 5 days in tissue culture plates coated
with anti-CD3
antibody (2 n/mL) in Iscove's modified Dulbecco's medium (IMDM) containing 10%
HI-
FBS, 55 ttM 2-mercaptoethanol and soluble anti-CD28 (3 ug/mL) in the presence
of a
Th17 skewing cocktail, including IL-113 (10 ng/mL), IL-6 (30 ng/mL), TGFI3
(0.5 ng/mL),
IL-21 (10 ng/mL), IL-23 (10 ng/mL), anti-IFI\TT (10 ug/mL) and anti-IL-4 (10
ttg/mL). To
examine compound effects on Th17 polarization, freshly thawed CD4+ cells in
IMDM

supplemented with all Th17 polarization cocktail constituents (above) were
seeded at low
cell density (20,000 cells/well) directly into anti-CD3 coated round bottom 96-
well plates
already containing serially diluted compounds. Cells were incubated
undisturbed for 5
days at 37 C. Immediately following culture, supernatant was analyzed for
secreted IL-
17A and IL-22 protein by MSD electrochemiluminescent cytokine assays
(Mesoscale
Discovery) and ELISA (Quantikine assay, R&D Systems), respectively. Compound
treatment(s) were performed in triplicate. Results are presented as the mean
SD or as
mean percent inhibition ( SD) relative to the response to stimulus alone.
Example 80 as tested in this assay had an ILI 7A pIC50 = 7.54 and Inhibition
Activity (ASSYM
MAX) = 94.
In Vitro Percutaneous Studies
The in vitro percutaneous study is aimed to predict the level of percutaneous
penetration
obtained for a compound in a topical formulation for psoriasis. This assay
coupled with the
intrinsic potency of the compound are used to predict the likelihood of
success of a compound to
engage the target. The higher the ratio of the percutaneous penetration to the
intrinsic potency, the
higher the ratio of local skin concentration to the intrinsic potency and
therefore the higher the
chance of a compound to engage the target in a topical formulation.
The compounds can be manufactured in a modified aqueous cream at pH=6.

The study can be conducted with dermatomed abdominal human skin sourced from
three skin
donors using 2cm2 Franz diffusion cells. The receiving fluid consisted of
Bovine serum albumin (4%
w/v) in 0.1% w/v sodium azide in Phospate Buffer Saline and can be heated at
37 C in order to
obtain 32 C at the skin surface. The cream formulation can be applied on the
donor side at a 10 mg
dose, i.e. 5 mg/cm2. The samples can be taken at the following time points:
t=0, 3, 6, 9 and 24 h.
The receiver samples can then be assayed using a method based upon protein
precipitation with
acetonitrile followed by LC/MS/MS analysis. The percutaneous flux (in
ng/cm2/hr) can be
determined using the individual API (in a multiple composition) that has
permeated into the
receiver compartment over 24hrs per cm2.
Iminuimod-induced skin inflammation
Imiquimod is an immune modifying agent that potently activates specific Toll-
like receptors
(e.g., TLR7) and induces irritation/ inflammation of the skin that requires
the IL23R/RORy/IL17
.. axis of the immune system (van der Fits et al, (2009) J Immunol; 182:5836-
5845; Gray eta!, (2013)
Nature Immunol; Jun;14(6):584-92). The imiquimod-induced skin inflammation
model can be used
to assess the ability of an RORy inhibitor to reduce Th17-driven inflammation
in mice. For the ear-
only skin inflammation model in which ear thickness was measured with digital
engineer's calipers
(Mitutoyo PK-0505), female wild type C57BL/6NTac mice obtained from Taconic
(Hudson, NY)
at 8 to 12 wk of age received a daily topical dose of 10 mg of commercially
available imiquimod
cream (5%) (Aldara; Mcdicis) distributed over both ears at approximately
11:00h for up to 4
consecutive days. Alternatively, 72 mg of Aldara was distributed over both
ears and the
shaved/depiliated back skin of mice at approximately 11:00h for 3 consecutive
days to examine
RORy-dependent gene expression (RNA isolated from both ears using Qiazol

17A protein
expression from whole blood (Meso Scale Discovery, Rockville, MD). For
treatment of the skin
inflammation in these models, each compound or vehicle (methylcellulose in
water, 1% w/v, Sigma
Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) was administered via oral gavage at approximately
08:00h and 16:00h
daily at various doses selected from 1, 3, 10, and 30 mg/kg.
As shown in the table below, E43 at the 10 and 30mg/kg doses resulted in a
statistically
significant reduction of imiquimod-induced ear thickening (Studies 1-4). In
study B, E43 at 10

in study C, only
the reduction in IL17A mRNA levels reached statistical significance. The ex

skilled artisan will appreciate that "prevention" is not an absolute term. In
medicine, "prevention"
is understood to refer to the prophylactic administration of a drug to
substantially diminish the
likelihood or severity of a condition or biological manifestation thereof, or
to delay the onset of
such condition or biological manifestation thereof.
The compounds of the invention may be administered by any suitable route of
administration, including both systemic administration and topical
administration. Systemic
administration includes oral administration, parenteral administration,
transdermal administration,
rectal administration, and administration by inhalation. Parenteral
administration refers to routes
of administration other than enteral, transdermal, or by inhalation, and is
typically by injection or
infusion. Parenteral administration includes intravenous, intramuscular, and
subcutaneous
injection or infusion. Inhalation refers to administration into the human
lungs whether inhaled
through the mouth or through the nasal passages. Topical administration
includes application to
the skin as well as intraocular, otic, intravaginal, and intranasal
administration.
The compounds of the invention may be administered once or according to a
dosing
regimen wherein a number of doses are administered at varying intervals of
time for a given period
of time. For example, doses may be administered one, two, three, or four times
per day. Doses
may be administered until the desired therapeutic effect is achieved or
indefinitely to maintain the
desired therapeutic effect. Suitable dosing regimens for a compound of the
invention depend on the
pharmacokinetic properties of that compound, such as absorption, distribution,
and half-life, which
can be determined by the skilled artisan. In addition, suitable dosing
regimens, including the
duration such regimens are administered, for a compound of the invention
depend on the condition
being treated, the severity of the condition being treated, the age and
physical condition of the
individual being treated, the medical history of the individual to be treated,
the nature of concurrent
therapy, the desired therapeutic effect, and like factors within the knowledge
and expertise of the
skilled artisan. It will be further understood by such skilled artisans that
suitable dosing regimens
190
CA 02950211 2016-11-24
WO 2015/180612
PCT/CN2015/079753
may require adjustment given an individual's response to the dosing regimen or
over time as
individual needs change.
Typical daily dosages may vary depending upon the particular route of
administration
chosen. Typical daily dosages for oral administration range from 0.1 mg to
1000 mg. Typical
daily dosages for topical administration range from about 0.001% to about 10%
w/w (weight
percent) and preferably from about 0.01% to about 1% w/w.
Additionally, the compounds of the invention may be administered as prodrugs.
As used
herein, a "prodrug" of a compound of the invention is a functional derivative
of the compound
which, upon administration to an individual, eventually liberates the compound
of the invention in
vivo. Administration of a compound of the invention as a prodrug may enable
the skilled artisan to
do one or more of the following: (a) modify the onset of the compound in vivo;
(b) modify the
duration of action of the compound in vivo; (c) modify the transportation or
distribution of the
compound in vivo; (d) modify the solubility of the compound in vivo; and (e)
overcome or
overcome a side effect or other difficulty encountered with the compound.
Typical functional
derivatives used to prepare prodrugs include modifications of the compound
that are chemically or
enzymatically cleaved in vivo. Such modifications, which include the
preparation of phosphates,
amides, esters, thioesters, carbonates, and carbamates, are well known to
those skilled in the art.
Compositions
The compounds of the invention will normally, but not necessarily, be
formulated into
pharmaceutical compositions prior to administration to an individual.
Accordingly, in another
aspect the invention is directed to pharmaceutical compositions comprising a
compound of the
invention and one or more pharmaceutically-acceptable excipient.
The pharmaceutical compositions of the invention may be prepared and packaged
in bulk
form wherein a safe and effective amount of a compound of the invention can be
extracted and then
given to the individual such as with powders or syrups. Alternatively, the
pharmaceutical
compositions of the invention may be prepared and packaged in unit dosage form
wherein each
physically discrete unit contains a safe and effective amount of a compound of
the invention.
When prepared in unit dosage form, the pharmaceutical compositions of the
invention typically
contain from 0.1 mg to 1000 mg.
The pharmaceutical compositions of the invention typically contain one
compound of the
invention. However, in certain embodiments, the pharmaceutical compositions of
the invention
contain more than one compound of the invention. For example, in certain
embodiments the
pharmaceutical compositions of the invention contain two compounds of the
invention. In
addition, the pharmaceutical compositions of the invention may optionally
further comprise one or
more additional pharmaceutically active compounds.

As used herein, "pharmaceutically-acceptable excipient" means a
pharmaceutically
acceptable material, composition or vehicle involved in giving form or
consistency to the
pharmaceutical composition. Each excipient must be compatible with the other
ingredients of the
pharmaceutical composition when commingled such that interactions which would
substantially
reduce the efficacy of the compound of the invention when administered to an
individual and
interactions which would result in pharmaceutical compositions that are not
pharmaceutically
acceptable are avoided. In addition, each excipient must of course be of
sufficiently high purity to
render it pharmaceutically-acceptable.
The compound of the invention and the pharmaceutically-acceptable excipient or
excipients
.. will typically be formulated into a dosage form adapted for administration
to the individual by the
desired route of administration. For example, dosage forms include those
adapted for (1) oral
administration such as tablets, capsules, caplets, pills, troches, powders,
syrups, elixers,
suspensions, solutions, emulsions, sachets, and cachets; (2) parenteral
administration such as sterile
solutions, suspensions, and powders for reconstitution; (3) transdermal
administration such as
transdermal patches; (4) rectal administration such as suppositories; (5)
inhalation such as dry
powders, aerosols, suspensions, and solutions; and (6) topical administration
such as creams,
ointments, lotions, solutions, pastes, sprays, foams, and gels.
Suitable pharmaceutically-acceptable excipients will vary depending upon the
particular
dosage form chosen. In addition, suitable pharmaceutically-acceptable
excipients may be chosen
.. for a particular function that they may serve in the composition. For
example, certain
pharmaceutically-acceptable excipients may be chosen for their ability to
facilitate the production
of uniform dosage forms. Certain pharmaceutically-acceptable excipients may be
chosen for their
ability to facilitate the production of stable dosage forms. Certain
pharmaceutically-acceptable
excipients may be chosen for their ability to facilitate the carrying or
transporting of the compound
or compounds of the invention once administered to the individual from one
organ, or portion of
the body, to another organ, or portion of the body. Certain pharmaceutically-
acceptable excipients
may be chosen for their ability to enhance compliance.
Suitable pharmaceutically-acceptable excipients include the following types of
excipients:
Diluents, fillers, binders, disintegrants, lubricants, glidants, granulating
agents, coating agents,
wetting agents, solvents, co-solvents, suspending agents, emulsifiers,
sweetners, flavoring agents,
flavor masking agents, coloring agents, anticalcing agents, hemectants,
chelating agents, plasticizers,
viscosity increasing agents, antioxidants, preservatives, stabilizers,
surfactants, and buffering agents.
The skilled artisan will appreciate that certain pharmaceutically-acceptable
excipients may serve
more than one function and may serve alternative functions depending on how
much of the
excipient is present in the formulation and what other ingredients are present
in the formulation.
Skilled artisans possess the knowledge and skill in the art to enable them to
select suitable
pharmaceutically-acceptable excipients in appropriate amounts for use in the
invention. In addition,
